White noise still?

My peanut is 14 months and we still use white noise when she sleeps/naps. It has helped her sleep since she was born. She has slept through the night since she was 3 months old. I feel like she is getting too old for it and want to get rid of it, does anyone use white noise still?

We never used it, I wanted our LO to go to bed in the pitch dark and quiet. She can sleep through earthquakes and thunderstorms too apparently. I thought about using white noise but eventually decided not to. I'd say try getting rid of it, but if it doesn't work, it's not hurting anything. My best friend still has to sleep with some sort of noise, or a playlist from her computer/iPhone. I know a lot f people that can't sleep in the quiet. So it's quite normal.

We still use the sleep sheep, it turns off after 45 min. I don't think he really needs it, but out of habit I do still turn it on whenever he goes down for a nap or for the night. My husband has to sleep with a fan on, so I think its totally normal to still use it.

We still use the sleep giraffe on the sleep setting which mimics the mothers heartbeat when in utero. It last for 45 min. I don't think she needs it, but it's a trigger that it's time to go to sleep. She sometimes still cries when put down for naps but sometimes doesn't!

We use ours still and LO is 14 months. Like a previous poster said, it's more of a "time to sleep" trigger. We use it for naps and bedtime. It's a comfort for him when we're traveling (which is quite a bit). A friend of mine, who has 4 kids under 4!, still uses a sound machine (and light mobile on the ceiling thing) for all of the kids. The oldest, who is 3, can do her bedtime routine herself, turning on all her contraptions :)

We use white noise still for entire duration of naps and for first 2 hours of night sleep. We could do less at night, but it helps him fall asleep which can sometimes take an hour.. I don't think there's any problem with it personally.. Especially if they have older/younger siblings, it helps them learn to sleep with other noise..

Totally still use it and even bring it on vacation with us! she sleeps well so why ruin a good thing? I never had one with my son but he also didn't have an older sibling making tons of noise. I have no regrets and is one of my most favorite items that I have used for my daughter!

We've had a fan in DDs room since she moved in there, since she slept in our room for the first 6ish months, and DH and I both sleep with a fan on to help tune out background noises. It was also comforting to us to have it on to help keep air circulating, which is supposed to help decrease the risk of SIDS. I'm sure she's past the SIDS risk age, now, but I still like that the fan in her room can help tune out our noises while she sleeps, and I don't think it's detrimental at all.

But if you're wanting to cut it out, if you use a sound machine (or a fan, like a lot of people do), would it be possible to just gradually wean her from it by turning it down a level at a time every few days? Or move it further away from her gradually? Or .. just removing it completely, cold turkey? She might not even be dependent on it, but if it seems like she is, a gradual stepping away from it might work best.

Good luck.
